This is not my usual genre, but I’m glad I decided to give it a try. The characters are well written, dropping the reader into a snapshot of their family life with squabbles, domestic fallout and unrequited teenage love thrown into the mix.
It’s an involving read, pick it up and you won’t realise how easily you’ve gotten into it until you reach the end.

What happens to a happily married couple when a family tragedy hits them? In this nicely written and true to life novel, a husband and wife have opposite reactions and methods of coping so that, at a time when they need each other most, they are torn apart. I was attracted to this story because I know two couples to whom this actually happened. I sympathised with the main characters and read the book quickly as I found I wanted to know what became of them.

I posted a detailed interview on Smashwords. Please drop by and learn a bit more about me. Let me know if there are any other questions you’d like me to answer and I will. While there, you can get a really good preview of IT HAPPENED TO US. Smashwords provides 20% of the novel to be sampled so you’ll be able to read the first 50 pages or so.
